Ok. Thus it suggests that the only use for the two targets is whether someone is interested in having a smaller footprint version... The other reason why I sticked to it in the submission is to be upward compatible with the previous state with 2 differents targets. I feel it is a "political" decision to shift to a single target install, and I'm not the one to take such a decision... I'm only really interested in having server headers and pgxs stuff installed by default, so that extensions can be reliably added on a default installation. So, the question remains the same: is there a consensus to drop install-all-headers/light-install targets for a simple and full "install"? If so, I'll make a new submission. -- Fabien Coelho - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
